Re: 60 - Just a note, Flynn declined to meet with the FBI with NSC legal counsel present. He was advised to have legal counsel present by NSC staffers.

Instead, he declined to have counsel present of any type - and then shot himself in the foot.

That was exceedingly bad judgment.

I disagree for a very specific and focused reason.

Where Flynn did make a mistake was in assuming that people working for the FBI were Americans working on the same team towards the same goals, which would have been, prior to 1/24/2017, not only normal and rational behavior for any person in his role, but required.

Your flawed characterization is based on what we NOW know took place leading up to, and on 1/24/2017 at the newly ensconced Trump White House. You assume that knowledge now is knowledge Flynn should have had then about the seditious and illegal activity of the FBI and DOJ.

Don’t be like the people we see, even here on Free Republic, who stupidly and openly state that “Because Flynn pleaded guilty, he must have down what those people set him up to be accused of, therefore he deserves everything he got. He only has himself to blame.”

Don’t be one of those people.
